The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

"call out!"

In a forest in this vast world, as a beam of light descended from the sky, Lin Suzhou's figure appeared.

"Where have I gotten myself into yet again?"

Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, Lin Suzhou couldn't help but say those words again.

But then he felt the abundant and powerful spiritual energy in his dantian, and Lin Suzhou couldn't help but grin.

Early stage of the Heavenly Fusion Realm!

This is his current level of attainment.

Today, relying on his level-five spiritual body, he forcefully broke through the bottleneck of the Divine Soul Realm and stepped into the Heaven Fusion Realm.

Although I suffered agonizing torment, it was all worth it.

Lin Suzhou still vividly remembers the look in Tian Sheng's eyes when he saw him break through to the Fusion Realm, a look that seemed to want to tear him to pieces.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Starting from the Sensing Realm, one progresses to the Spirit Movement Realm, the Spirit Wheel Realm, and finally, upon reaching the Divine Soul Realm, one can form a contract with a spirit beast.

After that comes the three realms of Fusion to Heaven, Transformation to Heaven, and Connection to Heaven. Once you pass through the "minor three difficulties" of physical body, spiritual power, and divine soul, you will step into the first to ninth rank of the Supreme Realm.

After the Supreme, there are Lower, Upper, and Great Perfection Earthly Supremes, and above that are Spiritual, Immortal, and Saintly Heavenly Supremes!

The next step forward is to comprehend the will of heaven and earth and become a great ruler!

"Ding! The host's intimacy level with the goddess Luo Li has reached 60. You have obtained a low-level sacred artifact, the Spirit Gathering Bottle (which can produce ten drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid per day)."

"Ding! It has been detected that the host's intimacy level with the goddess Wen Qingxuan has reached 55. Reward: Spirit Nourishing Pill (100 pills)."

A superior-grade spiritual weapon, the spear.

The Spirit-Rank High-Grade Spirit Technique: The Spirit Phoenix Spear Technique.

Complete Knowledge of Herbs.

The divine-grade superior spiritual technique, "Sacred Phoenix Hundred Battles Spear Technique".

Alchemist talent.

The essence of the golden phoenix.

The Golden Phoenix Cauldron, a low-grade divine alchemy furnace.

A drop of the essence blood of the Phoenix Clan of the Heavenly Ranking.

Spirit Beast Equality Contract Scroll.

The Primordial-Level Cultivation Technique: "Dragon and Phoenix Suppressing Spirit Bell!"

Following his instructions, the system distributed the reward after he left the Spirit Road. Lin Suzhou felt no less than if he had heard the notification that five million had been credited to his account.

But the most important thing right now is not the reward, but to find out where he is.

He only asked Dean Taicang to teleport him to the Northern Spirit Realm where Mu Chen was, but who knows which remote corner of the Northern Spirit Realm this is?

His body erupted with spiritual power, and Lin Suzhou flew into the sky.

Feeling the gentle breeze whistling past him, he felt refreshed!

He was a million times unwilling to let Lin Suzhou return to the Spirit Road at this moment.

"Whoosh!"

As his spiritual energy surged, Lin Suzhou's speed increased dramatically, and he soon came into view the outline of a city.

After landing on the ground again, Lin Suzhou walked towards the city.

A group of lazy guards stood at the city gate. The city tower was only a few feet high, far smaller than the protected area inside the Spirit Road.

Moreover, the city gate only had the words "South City" on it, so Lin Suzhou still didn't know where he was.

Following the flow of people into the city, Lin Suzhou quickly found an auction house.

Under the auctioneer's shocked gaze, he sold all the trashy spiritual techniques and artifacts he had collected in the spiritual path, as well as the unwanted storage rings, and obtained more than two million spirit coins.

Although it wasn't as much as he had imagined, it was still the right price.

Spiritual techniques are divided into mortal, spiritual, divine, and ancient levels, and each level is further divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade.

Spiritual artifacts are categorized into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. After top-grade spiritual artifacts come divine artifacts, and in between there are quasi-divine artifacts.

Above spiritual artifacts, divine artifacts are further divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade divine artifacts, followed by sacred artifacts and peerless sacred artifacts.

A low-grade spiritual weapon is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit coins, while a mortal-grade spiritual technique can be bought for as little as tens of thousands of spirit coins.

Therefore, the things Lin Suzhou obtained within the Spirit Road were only worth this much.

Having made a small fortune, he first found a restaurant to sit down. After finding out that his location was in the southern city of the Northern Spirit Realm's Pastoral Region, Lin Suzhou finally felt relieved.

It seems the reputation of the Judgment Realm is well-deserved; it's truly formidable.

After buying a map of the Northern Spirit Realm on the street, Lin Suzhou returned to the restaurant, booked a superior room, and began to learn everything he had acquired.

Among these rewards, the Spirit Gathering Bottle, the Dragon and Phoenix Spirit Suppressing Bell, and the Spirit Beast Equal Contract were the most attractive to him.

The Spirit Gathering Bottle can produce ten drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid every day. As an ancient-level technique, the Dragon Phoenix Suppressing Spirit Bell is naturally no less powerful than the Great Floating Pagoda Technique of the Floating Pagoda Clan.

And that Spirit Beast Equality Contract is the most heaven-defying!

It can actually force him to bind with any of the top-ranked spirit beasts. Once bound, the death of either one will not affect the other, and they can also share each other's power.

The most crucial point is that, although it's called an equal scroll, it's actually extremely advantageous to Lin Suzhou right now...

It's a pity that it can't be forcibly bound to a Heavenly Ranking Spirit Beast, otherwise Lin Suzhou would have experienced far fewer hardships.

After spending a week at the inn, Lin Suzhou learned all the spirit-level techniques in the first five days and also cultivated the "Dragon and Phoenix Suppressing Spirit Bell" to the first level - Gathering Spirit.

For the next two days, he practiced spirit arrays and became a level three spirit array master comparable to the Fusion Realm.

Unfortunately, there was no suitable spirit array, but fortunately, Lin Suzhou knew where there was a powerful array diagram in the Northern Spirit Realm.

This is the innate advantage of time travelers!

"Sir, you're not staying at our inn? Is it because we haven't provided adequate service?"

At the inn's counter, a short, stout middle-aged man looked cautiously at the young man in a blue robe who had placed the room key on the table and asked him a question.

His restaurant's top-tier rooms cost 1,000 spirit coins a day, and usually no one comes to stay there.

This young master drove for seven days straight without even blinking.

But I have to leave today, so it's hard not to feel a little lost.

"Yes, I'll come again when I have the chance."

Lin Suzhou nodded and stepped out.

He walked out onto the street again and let out a long breath.

It's so nice outside, you can see the sun.

After leaving the small town, Lin Suzhou summoned the mare again, mounted her, and headed towards the Black Abyss in the south of the Northern Spirit Realm.

"Whoosh!"

The little mare consumed many of Wen Qingxuan's pills on the Spiritual Path and has now reached the mid-stage of the Divine Soul Realm.

Its wings on its back grew to a full ten feet wide, and its white feathers were dazzling in the sunlight.

The scenery on the ground kept receding, and in just half an hour, Lin Suzhou arrived at the area of ​​the Black Abyss.

After passing through layers of poisonous miasma below, Lin Suzhou arrived at a black volcano in the Black Abyss.

Looking down at the skeleton of the spirit beast in a running posture in the black basin below, Lin Suzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Jiuyou has failed to transcend the tribulation and has begun to lie dormant in the crater to recuperate.

While letting the mare play happily in the basin, smashing the skeletons of spirit beasts whose spiritual power had been drained by the Nine Netherworld, Lin Suzhou jumped directly into a black volcano.

"Thump."

When Lin Suzhou landed, he found that the bottom of the crater was not very bright, with black rocks scattered everywhere, making it difficult to see.

Fortunately, this was no challenge for Lin Suzhou, who simply kicked and shattered the giant rocks in front of him one by one.

After Lin Suzhou kicked and shattered several giant rocks, a crack suddenly appeared in one of them, and beams of black light flashed out from the crack.

With a loud "bang," the giant rock exploded completely, and a ball of pitch-black light rose up in front of Lin Suzhou.
